About the Performers – a selection:

Jay Trainer Band: Jay combines thick, prolific guitar riffs and stark lyricism, while drawing on the traditions of funk, rock, blues, and psychedelia to craft a modern classic. His band possesses a unique ability to effortlessly negotiate tone and volume, moving from a quiet, almost jazzy tone to a booming thunder at any given moment. jaytrainer.com

Ziva: “Incredibly powerful to observe, Ziva provokes her piano and propels her songs with admirable composure and intention. Her seductive voice is dimensional and sure from its deepest brooding lows to fierce highs. The band behind her serves as an army of confidence and cause her progressions to explode.” zivamusic.com
